It's a very short story (about 40 pages IIRC, the whole PDF file was 80 pages but half of those were excerpts for upcoming books) but it's so beautifully written that it took my breath away. I've always admired Ms Dee's writing, especially in Bone Deep, but this little story was really something special and I was wondering if some of you had read it?

I just read Bone Deep,was surprised at how much I liked it, and I will definitely be checking out Blackberry Pie. She certainly doesn't write the usual, run of the mill romantica, does she?_________________Aoife

I'd like to give it a try but alas - I'm just not into e-books. I've tried them, but for me there's nothing like holding one in one's hand. I do have a print copy of Bone Deep (and just love it!). Is this only available in e format?

Aoife, yes, Bonie Dee certainly gives us something different everytime! I wish she'd get picked up by a Print publisher and write us a full-length novel.

Kristie, I don't think it's available in print. I'm not big on ebooks either but Blackberry Pie is such a short story that it really was no trouble to read it in an ebook format. It's only $2.50 and you can very easily print it if you choose the HTML format and then read it like a real book.

I wish she'd get picked up by a Print publisher and write us a full-length novel.

I have a couple of full length novels finished and one in progress, but for now, Finding Home is soon to be released in paperback by Samhain. It comes out in July! More details soon. My writing partner on that release, Lauren Baker, and I are very excited to see Sean and Megan's story in print.

Thanks for the kind words about Blackberry Pie. A friend pointed me in the direction of this thread, and I enjoyed your praise of the story. I'd been watching mega-doses of Carnivale when I saw the call for submissions for the Midsummer Night's Steam Series, so I was deep in Depression Era mode. Also, growing up watching The Waltons, I always wanted John Boy to have steamier encounters than they ever gave him, and so this little summer story somehow came together from strange elements._________________More about me at http://bonniedee.com

It's a year later and I want to let everyone know that Blackberry Pie is now available in print. It's included in the Heat Wave anthology http://samhainpublishing.com/print/heat-wave-print that also has great summer-themed stories by Veronica Wilde, Dee S. Knight and Jamie Craig. You can order from Samhain or Amazon. Even better, ask your local bookstore about the ordering the book. The more Samhain titles available at local bookstores, the better._________________More about me at http://bonniedee.com
